Kevin Federline: How He's Trying to Lose the Weight
Kevin Federline is in therapy.
He has no choice. It's part of the regimen he's being put through as a competitor on the upcoming seventh season of Celebrity Fit Club.
High School Musical star KayCee Stroh, who is also competing on the weight-loss reality show, says everyone has to keep a daily journal, too.
Even so, the former Mr. Britney Spears has yet to break down in front of anyone because...
Will Madonna Perform at the Video Music Awards?!
Madonna may be 51, but don't you dare think for even a second that she's too old for MTV.
There's a rumor flying around that the Queen of Pop will perform her new single "Celebration" at next month's Video Music Awards in New York City.
Those set to perform during the show, which takes place Sept. 13 at Radio City Music Hall, include Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Pink, Taylor Swift, Green Day and Muse.
Madonna's rep insists there are no plans for the VMAs this year. But let's say it does actually happen—would she be able to top some of her most memorable past appearances?
Britney Spears: Mother's Day at Teen Choice Awards
Britney Spears' date for the Teen Choice Awards? Her two sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston.
A very blond Mama Brit and her boys were spotted making their way through Backstage Creations' Bop It Celebrity Retreat gifting tent. "The boys played Band Hero with Jayden drumming and Sean playing guitar," an onlooker reports. "Britney sang and danced and cheered them on."

Teen Scene: Twilight, Britney and...President Obama?
Twilight fans, rejoice!
Robert Pattinson & Co. have some of the best seats in the house at this weekend's Teen Choice Awards.
But before we get into who is sitting where and with whom, I wanna fill ya in on some other goodies I just got for you during my exclusive sneak peek of what's in store for the annual surfboard awards show.
Here we go…
Reports of Britney Spears performing during Sunday's taping of the show (it airs on Monday on Fox) have been greatly exaggerated.
Britney will be there, though. She's not only a multiple-nominee, but she's receiving the Ultimate Choice Award.
"But," says Bob Bain, executive producer of the show, "if at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon she calls and says, 'I've changed my mind,' we will figure it out and make it happen."
So, what's up with Twilight? Plus, did the Jonas Brothers, who make their debut as hosts of the show, snag President Obama to take part? Keep reading to find out...

Britney Spears has done it again.
I can exclusively reveal that our favorite comeback kid has been nominated for not one, not two, not three...well, seven MTV Video Music Awards.
Last year, the pop princess made a brilliant return to the VMA stage when she took home three Moon Man trophies for "Piece of Me."
And while we hate to remember this...
Kevin Federline Smokes While Girlfriend Fumes
Kevin Federline may smoke, but he definitely wasn't the culprit when ex-wife Britney Spears abruptly halted her concert last night in Vancouver.
How do we know this?

Lindsay Lohan & Sam Ronson's Unofficial Portrait
Lindsay Lohan is a piece of work—literally.
Los Angeles-based artist Ben Tegel created his latest Lohan-inspired work for a poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room rock club. The image is a take on Grant Wood's iconic 1930 portrait, American Gothic, with Samantha Ronson as the pitchfork-holding farmer and LiLo as her wife.
But what's it all mean? The artist explained to me:
Did Britney Spears Really Join T-Pain on Stage?
Britney Spears is touring with T-Pain...sort of.
During his performance at the Universal Amphitheater last night, T-Pain brought out little person Terra Jole, a famed Spears impersonator, decked in the pop star's infamous VMA '07 getup.
"There's an artist I'd like to introduce," T-Pain said. "They have an album called Circus, and they've joined me on tour." As the hopeful crowd awaited a Spears appearance, Jole took center stage—which was set up as T-Pain's own circus (hence the name of his latest album, Thr33 Ringz)—and danced like only Spears (and an impersonator) can.

Dame Edna knows everybody. At least she claims she does.
The purple-haired diva and alter ego of Australian funnyman Barry Humphries is currently touring the U.S. with her one-woman show but recently made a pit stop in Los Angeles to promote her new makeup line for MAC Cosmetics.
I sat down with Dame Edna at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel just before she dashed off to make an appearance on Jay Leno alongside Kate Winslet. The sharp-tongued old biddy talked Hugh Jackman, Britney Spears and what her new lipstick has to do with kangaroo private parts.

Katy Perry: Britney Spears "Not on Top of My List"
Britney Spears is a wanted woman.
Oprah Winfrey says she wants Britney Spears to be on her show. Madonna loves working with Spears. And now fans have made the comeback pop princess' new album, Circus, a hit.
So you’d think that fellow pop rocker Katy Perry would jump at the chance to work with Brit, right? Well, actually, no.

Britney Spears: Inside Her New York Birthday Party
Britney Spears can't stop turning 27—or at least celebrating it, anyway.
Not only did she have a candle-covered cake at a London nightclub on Saturday, but just this morning she was serenaded by celebs like Hugh Jackman after her "Womanizer" performance on Good Morning America.
And as I type this, the doors are open for her big circus-themed bash at New York's Tenjune nightclub. Already inside are Heidi Klum, Lance Bass and Lipstick Jungle's hot guy Rob Buckley. And the lady of honor just arrived in a little gray and black dress with "major cleavage," says a partygoer.
Britney Spears: Looking for a Husband?
Britney Spears hasn’t given up on love. The former Mrs. Kevin Federline says she’d like another walk down the aisle.
“In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable,” Spears says in the new issue of Glamour magazine.
In another apparent jab at K-Fed, Ms. Spears says, “It’s hard doing it on your own.”
But potential suitors, beware—Spears is not the wild child party girl you may want her to be. Even though she had an early birthday celebration last night at club G-A-Y in London, the comeback pop princess swears she’s over that scene.
